Ansible needs a well configured ansible.cfg to work reliably. I don't think
it will fallback on defaults for everything it needs.
At least the inventory needs to be set properly.

If  there is one in the current directory, it will use that, so if you make
that empty, it will just miss a lot of settings it needs.

What is your point by creating an empty ansible.cfg?
